Most Metro is giving away tickets to see The Ohio Players
Get Funky
The arctic temperatures have us all in a bit of a funk. The best way to warm your weekend up is with some fire. Fiiiire. It’s in your head now. Don’t be ashamed to stand up and sing it. Pay no attention to your co-workers staring at you awkwardly. They want to sing, too. Invite them to come along to the Love Rollercoaster (unless that violates your company’s HR policy, of course).
This weekend, funk is alive right here in Dayton, where it all started. Our very own, Ohio Players will take the stage at The Schuster Center to kick off the interactive Visual Voices art exhibit.
A collaborative effort between The Victoria Theatre Association and EboNia Gallery, Visual Voices: Visions of Dayton Funk tasked artists to create visual art pieces that reflect the feel of the “Dayton Sound”. To further examine that sound, students from Dayton Public Schools at the Ponitz Career Technology Center have interviewed the artists to provide the history which will allow the funk sound to move into the future with younger generations.
The night begins with The Dayton Funk All Stars bringing the Dayton sound to the stage. A brief intermission will allow more time to take in the art exhibit before the Ohio Players close out the evening as only they can.
Tickets for the event on Sunday, February 9th are on sale at ticketcenterstage.com.
The Ohio Players will perform Feb 9 at the Schuster Center
